‘Footings’ is a collaboration between Jessica Scarpati and New American Public Art that critically investigates public art.Jessica Scarpati is a research master’s student in the Department of Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

Footings are materially and conceptually the basis on which something is established and operates. This blog puts in place the footings for better understanding art and its entanglement with philosophy, sociology, policy, and the public.
